Starting with pub news, Blackmore has a new landlord at the Leather Bottle, which is undergoing extensive refurbishment. Brentwood Borough Council has rejected a planning application to change The Bull to residential use. The Post Office business is planned to move from its present building sometime soon on the retirement of the present postmistress. Finally, at St Laurence Church Blackmore villagers will be welcoming the new Vicar, Revd. Samantha Brazier-Gibbs, at her induction on Tuesday 24 November.

Blackmore Area Local History

I am a keen amateur local historian who has always lived in the CM4 postal district (Ingatestone and Blackmore).
I am currently running an interim blog for the Essex Society for Archaeology and History - see esah160.blogspot.co.uk - and have recently completed a Certificate in Local History at the University of Essex.
The purpose of this blog (which began in 2007) and partner website is simply to encourage everyone to consider, explore and learn about their local heritage and history. The Internet is a marvellous resource and enables people from around the corner and around the world to share.
Enjoy the journey of discovery.
